1. Observation
2. Extraction only
3. Routine extraction and space maintenance
4. Surgical removal and space maintenance
The answer given is OBSERVATION, I want to know, It seems the tooth is ankylosed, so why wont we go for surgical removal and space maintenance?
B) For an extension based removable partial denture, which of the following is most important to maintain the remaining suppporting tissues
1. Using stress releasing clasps
2. Preserving denture base support
3. Limiting eccentric occlusal contacts
4. using plastic teeth
